This site provides an English to Kannada Dictionary as well as a Kannada to English Dictionary. Started in 2003 as an English to Hindi dictionary, this site is now used by hundreds of thousands of people in over a hundred countries around the world.

To extend the popular “Quote of the Day” and “Word of the Day” columns to Indian languages beyond Hindi, we would like to invite interested individuals.

Based on popular demand, we now have pronunciation information in Hindi as well as in other Indian languages!

After six years as a English-Hindi dictionary, we are now extending this site to other Indian languages. Over time, we will continue to make these dictionaries better. As always, we welcome your feedback!

Many of the recent contributions are English-Urdu translation pairs. While we adore Urdu as a language, please be aware that this dictionary is an English-Hindi dictionary. So, please only contribute those Urdu words that are regularly used in Hindi speaking areas. And while doing so, please indicate Urdu as the language of origin of the word you are contributing. We hope you will help make this distinction!

We are starting to get contributions for Hindi pronunciation. You can listen to new contributions here and help in approval process. If you want to contribute, you are welcome to do so.

This site started in November 2003 as a dictionary with not even a domain name! Then, it got its own domain
